Review 830 128 GB Notebook Kit
PostedOctober 28, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
PostedOctober 28, 2012
"This drive is quite quick!
A significant improvement in OS and application performance. Disk intensive ops such as system startup, virus scanning, and other software taken noticeably less time.
My system (laptop) has a 2.5G Intel CPU, 4MB memory, and Intel chipset running XP SP3. I have one hard drive, one hard partition, and a single boot setup.
I was concerned about installation problems. Installation was a breeze. BIOS, XP and Norton Ghost had no problem recognizing the drive. Cloning the old drive went off without a problem. Did have a minor problem with SSD Magician's description of a dialog box put up by Windows Disk Management, but solved that with a little thought.
I have no reservations in recommending this kit (drive and software).
While the cost in terms of gigs per $ may be higher than a spinning drive, the cost in terms of a means to upgrade without replacing the computer is low.
Performance under XP did not approach the specs but I am fully satisfied with the performance."
Pros: cost effective upgrade

Performance vs prior Sata III 7200rpm boot drive is night and day. Full boots now are < 1 minute. PC very snappy.
One of the hardware best purchases I've made considering delivering as promised."

"+ Slick design
- Random 4K IOPS only reach half as spec, even after all the latest driver and optimization.
- 128GB size misleading because it does not have built-in over provisioning as typical 120/240GB drive.
Overall, good product."

Reliability was what lead me to this.
PostedJune 27, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
PostedJune 27, 2012
"Reliability is what led me to purchase this SSD. I did see that these SSDs were more dependable and reliable...at least from my observations. I've also experienced the same in the months I've had it thus far. I was willing to sacrifice the absolute highest speeds (not that I even notice the difference) for a reliable, dependable & trouble-free controller. I had no intentions of even trying to do anything other than a clean OS install so I can only speak as to the relative ease of that. I gathered & read all the relevant info beforehand, and I had no problems installing this Notebook upgrade on my desktop...I wanted the adapter that came with this particular package. Love the software that comes with this drive further adding to the ease of use and setup. I've no want or need to sacrifice reliability or stability in favor of some slightly faster SSDs elsewhere. What's more important anyway when reaching the speeds this one already reaches?"
Pros: Durable, reliable, trouble-free, management software, controllers
Cons: not the absolute fastest specs, more pricey per gb than most

Great SSD
PostedDecember 29, 2011

PostedDecember 29, 2011
"I agree with MaximumPC reviews that this SSD is incredible. If you deal with incompressible data, such as picture/video/music files often, the speeds on this drive are unmatched by the current Sandforce drives, who get their speed by their controller compressing data (which they can't do with data already compressed, such as noted above). In this case, their speeds really drop behind the Samsung 830.
I put mine into a 2011 15" MBP. I LOVE the adaptor you get with the notebook kit. I initially hooked up the SSD to the SATA to USB adaptor and plugged in as an external drive, used Carbon copy cloner (free app) to clone my mechanical drive to the SSD. Rebooted off the external SSD (hold option key on power up) and it came up fine so I did the switch of the drives. The hardest part is getting the screws out of the back of the MBP. And with the adaptor, your old drive can still be used as an external USB drive for additional storage.
Love the speed/responsiveness of this drive!"

"I do not know if I need something this fast. Once the windows 7 logo comes on, Im ready to roll in less than 13 seconds. I have an i7 920, 6GB ram on Asus mobo. I waited a bit till the prices came down and this was totally worth the wait. Best of all no heat into the computer and no sound. My WD raptors were really loud. Glad to ditch them!"

"This beautifull SSD hardware was easy to install in a Dell mini 1012, but could not use Ghost to clone my existing HDD to the SSD. Man, what a nightmare, even my IT employed neighbor could not make it work. I Finally used a different cloning software and copied to the SSD in 40 minutes. The Dell 1012 is SATA II, with a 1.66Mhz CPU and this SSD still made a major improvement for me, with faster startup, shutdowns and programing operations; also uses less power and extending my battery life. Well worth the money IMO. I have already purchased a 2nd one to install in my wife's Dell 1120. Saving up for the 840 PRO 256GB for our desktop next year."
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, fast, easy, really fast!!
Cons: bad ghost software

"I mean, whenever i now have to handle another computer without an ssd, i feel like i'm back to the old days of floppy disks boot up...
even though my laptop is just sata 2, this ssd is totally worth it because it maxes out sata 2 speeds. When i'll eventualy move to a new laptop, i'll be sure to be bringing my sammy ssd with me!
my two only glitches are with ssd magician: on a win 7 64 even though i have the latest version it always tells me to update; and, altough i've disables indexing for this ssd, i've left it on to my 2nd hdd - ssd magician still tells me to disable it.
On a final thought, ssd's are still expensive and i believe samsung could lower their price a bit as they manufacture the entire hardware and software (thumbs up for that). It's a decision that altough one does not regret for a second, makes it not an "impulse buy".
Other than that, i'm showing off my 30 sec boot time to all my friends ;)"

"The SSD as such is really great and, following the review I've read on multiple websites, it should be running fine.
The only really annoying issue I had was the installation on Windows 7 ... What a mess !
I have finally found on a forum the way to do it but it is not really as shown on the Samsung ad !
A big improvement can be done there on the explanation side surely for people like me (and I'm really far to be the only one) willing to add a SSD as a Windows boot drive but keeping the old HDD as a data drive."
